If QPR go down which looks likely, I could see Pete going for Harry again. Don't think Tone will leave to be honest and can't see Harry coming up north, but if he did leave I could see him going for Harry I'd rather eat my own arse than have Redknapp as manager. I've no doubt he'd get us challenging for two or three seasons, but we'd pay a heavy, heavy price over the next 10 to 15 years for it. I'm not sure how, but he seems to be able to get chairmen to part with money that isn't even there. I'd rather have Pulis for the next 10 years than have Redknapp for two years. And that says more about my thoughts on Redknapp than it does about Pulis.

Follow the Bet 365 odds. They should know what's happening methinks. They don't offer it, conflict of interest. When he goes, they won't do a book on his replacement for the same reason.

Yes you would think so wouldn't you but the point is they don't. Can they as individuals - or is it a team/tactic thing ? Teams with fairly average premiership players seem to offer more threat going forward. Players that seem to find space, players who look to pass and move for a return, players who get forward and support, players who can play a through pass, players who can get a shot on goal - even players who can score goals ! Why is that ? Surely our players are capable of doing these things aren't they ? Yet we play lump it forward for Crouch or give it the wide man and our front men run into the box and wait for a cross that rarely comes good because the wide man has to beat three defenders on his own and if the cross does come in the men in the middle are surrounded by defenders. I don't buy this 'we need a similar direct manager' stuff, the defence is solid, isn't going to change if TP goes, given some chances I'm sure our forwards can score goals, that just leaves the midfield to address and we have a start on that with N'Zonzi and possibly Adam. Piece of piss, especially if he takes his dog with him Couldn't agree more. Rafa all the way.

The difference between a 20/1 chance and a 14/1 chance is a little over 2% so the odds have hardly been slashed,have they. Please tell me you don't gamble! erm,I make a living out of it bud,which bit of my post don't you understand?

Assuming the odds are correct.Approximately a 20/1 chance has a 5% chance of winning and a 14/1 chance has a 7% chance of winning.

"The odds on Tony Pulis leaving Stoke before the start of next season have been cut to 3/1, while Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand is 11/8 to make England’s World Cup squad.
Pulis has taken Stoke from the Championship to the middle of the Premier League in his near-seven season spell back at the Britannia Stadium, but a run of one win from 11 league games has left him under pressure from fans, who have seemingly become frustrated at a lack of progression in terms of both results and playing style.
Pulis has been publicly backed by Stoke chairman Peter Coates, and has denied reports he could walk away from the club, but Welshman make it 3/1 that he is no longer in charge come the first game of next season. He is a skinny 1/5 to remain in charge.
Pulis is 20/1 to leave his post before the end of this season, behind Chelsea’s Rafa Benitez (5/2), Sunderland’s Martin O’Neill (12/1), Manchester City’s Roberto Mancini (14/1) and West Ham’s Sam Allardyce (16/1) in the Premier League sack race market."

As you've not replied,I take it that,that was the Maths you were unaware of I was unaware you were looking at it that way yes. I was looking at the difference between 20/1 and 14/1 which is around 30%. Had you included the word 'winning' in your post at a crucial point I'd have probably grasped what you meant I didn't reply last night 'cos I went to bed having to get up early this morning for work - unfortunately I don't gamble for a living But I do see what you meant now.

The 'Maths' may be correct but it's not your average betting market is it?
It's a very volatile situation where someone involved only has to say a couple of words and the odds go from 14/1 down to odds on, in one move. That wouldn't happen in most betting scenarios.
At the moment 14/1 look massive odds but I'll be hanging on to my pittance even so.

A 14/1 shot can suddenly become an EVS shot if it breaks out of the pack with a couple of furlongs to go. It's exactly the same principle.

At the moment, people would be betting on a contest that isn't actually scheduled to take place and with no indication that it might, save for the reported moaning and groaning of SOME Stoke fans. Bit different to placing a bet before or during an event that is actually happening.

I don't bet and I certainly wouldn't start by putting money on this being a likely outcome. Sadly he'll still be here next season and I'm afraid that the football will be just as appallingly shit.
